Operating Instructions
WOOD’S ONE OF THE WORLD’S
LEADING DEHUMIDIFIERS
Wood’s dehumidifiers have been known as market leaders for many years. Their
dehumidifiers are suitable for use in the most demanding climates, where
dehumidifying capacity is optimal even at different temperatures and humidity
levels.
Excellent results can be achieved within indoor areas that become damp, such
as basements, garages, pool rooms, attics, and summer houses. Compared to
conventional tumble dryers, Wood’s dehumidifiers do not wear out clothes as
they utilize a blow-drying effect while being energy efficient, making them
ideal for drying laundry.
The amount of humidity that the dehumidifier removes depends on the
temperature, humidity level, and placement. External weather conditions may
also affect the performance of the dehumidifier. Wood’s dehumidifiers are safe
in operation and intended for use over many years.
EXCESSIVE AIR HUMIDITY – A DANGER
Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold
surface such as a cold window or wall. When water vapor is cooled down,
condensation occurs, and water drops are formed. In high air humidity, the air
may get musty and mold might get formed, causing damage to a home and its
furnishings. This environment may even cause illness for the residents.
Mites and spiders also thrive in damp environments. A dehumidifier with high
performance creates a good, healthy humidity level. For optional efficiency,
the doors and windows of rooms that are being dehumidified should be kept
closed.

SET UP DEHUMIDIFIER FOR INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Installation
BEFORE FIRST USE
Let the machine stand for 4 hours before using Selecting a Location Important
-
Dehumidifiers must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumidifier depends on the rate at which new moisture- laden air enters the room. -
Place a dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit.
-
A dehumidifier operating in a room will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. lt may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.
-
Ensure that the unit is placed on a stable and flat surface. If the surface is not stable there is a risk that the unit may be unstable and cause excessive vibration and that water will be released.
-
The dehumidifier must have at least 20 cm free space around the entire dehumidifier.

WATER DRAINAGE
When the water reservoir is full, the dehumidifier is shut off automatically. Once the water reservoir is emptied the unit will automatically restart.
- Disconnect the dehumidifier from the power source.
- Empty the water reservoir.
- Put the empty water reservoir back and check that the float moves freely.
- Connect the dehumidifier to the power source.
Direct water drainage
Connect a water hose to the pipe on the back of the dehumidifier. Lead the
other end to a drain. Make sure that the water can be drained downwards.
AIR FILTER
The air filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the machine, prolonging
its life expectancy. It is important the filter is cleaned regularly.
Filter cleaning:
- Remove the filter.
- Wash it with warm water and a mild cleansing agent. Alternatively, the filter may be vacuum cleaned.
- Let the filter dry and put it back.
DEFROSTING OPERATION
During the defrosting operation, the dehumidification function may intermit.
Please don’t turn off the switch or pull out the power plug of the
dehumidifier during the defrosting operation. This dehumidifier can’t be
applicable to keep an extremely low temperature. The purpose of this
dehumidifier is to remove moisture from the indoor environment, but not at
extremely low temperatures.
The room temperature increases during the operation.
This dehumidifier doesn’t have a cooling function. It will produce heat during
the operation and increase the room temperature to 1 to 4°C. In addition, the
door and windows are closed and other appliances in the room can give out heat
as well as the radiation of the sun can raise the room temperature.
MAINTENANCE
- Clean the unit with a soft moist cloth. Do not use solvents or strong cleaners as this might damage the surface of the unit.
- The cooling coils are best cleaned with a rag and warm water.
SERVICE
If the dehumidifier requires servicing, you must first contact your local
retailer. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
STORAGE
Before storage of the unit, please follow these steps:
-
Make sure the water tank is empty.
When the unit is switched on, make sure the unit work at Ventilation mode for at least 30 minutes to remove the water inside the unit. -
Collect and bundle the power cord.
-
Clean the filter.
-
Store in a clean, dry environment.
Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
HINTS
When the dehumidifier is used in extremely damp environments or when the
temperature is below +5˚C, the dehumidifier may stop working. A large amount
of ice builds up on the cooling coil. Turn off the dehumidifier and place it a
little above the floor level so that the ice will melt away.
Sometimes it may be useful to use a frost guard or heater fan to make sure
that the temperature does not fall below +10˚C. Even if the MRD10/14 works
down to temperatures as low as +5°C, its capacity will increase at higher
temperatures as warm air carries more water.
The hydrostat has a margin of error of approx. +/- 5-10%. At lower
temperatures, the margin of error might increase further.
For maximum dehumidifying power in a room, it is recommended that the air
supply from outside and from adjoining rooms is minimized – close doors and
ventilators.
Expect higher dehumidification capacity during Autumn / Summer because the
outside air is warmer and more humid.
IMPORTANT! – Wood’s dehumidifier must be connected to a grounded power
source.
The power source should be 220V-240V 50Hz
| PROBLEM | CAUSE | REMEDY |
|---|---|---|
| The dehumidifier does not work | The power is not connected | Check that |
dehumidifier is connected to electricity and that fuse has not blown.
Check that the water reservoir is empty and correctly placed in the
dehumidifier.
Does not dehumidify| The water container is full.
The water container has not been replaced correctly.
The air filter is clogged. The temperature or relative humidity in the room
where the device is operating is too low.| Remove the water from the
container.
Place the water container in the correct position. Clean the air filter.
Check that air can flow freely through the dehumidifier. The Front grid and
air filter should be clean and the dehumidifier should stand 20cm from the
wall.
The dehumidifier works but reduces the relative humidity insufficiently.| The
room is too large.
There are too many sources of humidity. There is too much ventilation| We
recommend using a dehumidifier with a larger capacity.
Reduce ventilation(e.g close windows and shut doors)
